High Density FPC Connector (0.3mm/0.4mm/0.5mm Pitch)
FH16 Series

Features
1. High Density FPC Connector
The FH16 series is a fine pitch, zero insertion force (ZIF), right angle, bottom
contact, connector compatible with flexible printed circuits (FPC) with a pitch
of 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm and a recommended thickness of 0.295mm for
single-sided or 0.306mm for double-sided. The FH16 provides a higher pin
count given the same amount of board space than other manufacturers of
similar product. With a large selection in pin density, the FH16 series greatly
improves design flexibility.
FH16
: 0.3mm pitch 60, 80, and 90 contacts
FH16M : 0.4mm pitch 80 and 96 contacts
FH16H : 0.5mm pitch 50 contacts
FH16P : 0.5mm pitch 64 contacts
2. Easy mounting on PCB
FH16 supports 0.3mm pitch cable but only requires a 0.6mm pitch pad
layout on the PCB. The FH16’s staggered pin design allows the
mounting lead area to be twice as wide as the FPC contact area making
it easier to place the connector on the board given the fine pitch of the
contacts.
3. User Friendly Flip-Lock Design
The flip-lock (one-touch rotating type) ZIF structure secures the FPC
connection with a single and light force. This design helps simplify
assembly and repair work. When locking the FPC, the audible click
assures the assembly worker of a steady FPC connection resulting in
improved customer service.
4. Prevents FPC from escape and oblique mating
The FH16 series with its recommended FPC dimensions prevents the
FPC from escape and oblique mating thereby securing a steady
connection.
5. Compatible with Automatic Assembly Tooling
Embossed tape packaging allows for automatic placement onto the PCB.
